Was just looking into the differences between the âuncutâ and âEnglish versionâ and jesus, what an unnecessary complication. I really donât see why they didnât just only release the âuncutâ version with the commentary
Seems its just a difference of language in credits and a single shot of a prisoner in a wagon⌠and the credits arenât even English, theyâre French
I will watch this during the weekend. Beginning seems absolutely fantastic! But so was the beginning of A town called hell.

Interesting film with lots of (maybe a bit too much) action. I liked it 
At the same time, the film felt really random: Chuck Connors grinning 24/7 and Alberto DellâAcqua doing acrobatics (loved it 
). It also felt like the only thing that happened in the film was that the group went somewhere, started a fight, escaped and then repeated it.
Featuring a superb soundtrack by Francesco De Masi, and a thunderous main theme sung by Raoul.
One of my favorite songs at the moment 
This is a film that just gets better and better for me.
I know what you mean. I first saw this on satellite TV in a holiday apartment in Almeria, 2009. It was during my last Spanish trip, and I was staying at âRoquetas De MarââŚa beautiful seaside destination.
The film was a perfect end to a perfect day, visiting SW locations.
Yeah, thereâs lots of actions (never ending, at times), but the film is strangely compelling, and features knock-out performances from Chuck (Rifleman/Branded) Connors, and Frank Wolff.
However, add to this the superb (as always) Francesco De Masi scoreâŚand the film rises several notches above the norm.
Sure, not a knock out SWâŚbut certainly a knockabout oneâŚ
As much as the sequences become over-familiar, and repetitive, this SW grows on me also every time that I watch it.
SW#80 for me.
Enjoyed it, but it didnât blow me away.
Typical Castellari in that it 1) has very good cinematography / visuals with some interesting camera angles and locations, but 2) contained way too many fist fights. I probably made exactly the same comments wrt Johnny Hamlet.
As others have noted it is all action, with some good (but OTT) set pieces. However; the characters are all a little one dimensional. The balance of the film feels a little off as a result. Still it was an enjoyable watch but I suspect I might like it less on a rewatch.
This opened across Odeons in London - Hammersmith, Acton, Edgware Road, Camden Town, Harlesden etc, 30th November 1969, in a double feature with âEmma Hamiltonâ. Shown widely throughout 1970 it would often reappear into 1971/72, such as this screening in Hulme, February 1972: KILL THEM ALL AND COME BACK ALONE (X) Western - but no Western ever had as much action as this! Itâs a rough, breathless 94 minutes! (Manchester Evening News, 24th February, 1972)
In the U.S. it opened in Fort Worth, Philadelphia etc, May 1970.

This looks like some fun research youâre doing @Montero
Keep it coming
